If you think you can, just do it!

I always think everyone can success after they do hard. Several years ago, I wish I can enter ATPtour match. Although now I am only a tennis junior coach, but I am so hard to educate sporters as more as possible. I think you can! you can!

there are many players better than kournikova, at least at the moment. Look at anastasia myskina, who i believe is 5th in the world or somewhere near that, and elena dementieva (who got to the finals of the recent nasdaq-100 tourney but lost to serena who is da bomb :-D) , svetlana kuznetsova, nadia petrova, and others who i'm sure i'm forgetting. Kournikova was really good early in her career, she got to 8th in the world, but she let her injuries get the best of her and she lost interest in tennis.

there are loads better russian players now than anna, theres myskina,sharapova, kuznetsova, dementieva,zvonerava, and by the way i hope one day you do become a better player than anna kournikova.

in there head to head against all the russian in top 100 kournikova leads Dementieva, Zvonerava, Petrova, Likhovtseva, Bovina, Jidkova, Panova in all there meatings. The only Russian players that have a wining record against her are Safina, Myskina, kuznetsova( in there only meating anna had to retire)
she is 9-4 agains all the russians in the top 100.

hey larissa
yes anna is a good player but shes into fashion and if she returns and plays from where she left of she may reach the quarters or semis but hey dont u think u r forgetting sharapova and myskina
